Tumbler making goes back a extensive time, as far as 5 centuries before the common era. Writings from Pliny, a famous Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants inhabiting the area of Syria were the first to fortuitously come across a new and useful substance called 'glass'. However, many myths and folklore cloak the authentic discovery of schooner. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no vintage glassware with today!

Glass creation in the Egyptian era The fine, and nearly ethereal, shapes that beaker manufacturers craft nowadays have evolved over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., goblet beads had started adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian culture. Goblet beads and amulets, dating back to pre-Roman eras have been said to be worn as far back as 2500 B.C. For the period of the pre-Roman times, glass vessels were being completed but the fine art of schooner blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were by and large making glass mosaics.

Romans learn goblet blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that tumbler blowing, as it is acknowledged today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This strong discovery fully transformed the mannerwineglass would henceforth be used and, finally, appear. The wearisome task of wrapping goblet around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new goblet blowing technique. Swiftly, a whole view of endless possibilities opened up before Roman goblet artisans.

In a short instant, Rome started to dominate the tumbler marketplace, as it did in many other trades. Rome presently became the ancient world's epicentre for making and supply of blown beaker and led to the vintage glassware with that we have today.

Wineglass works throughout the Middle Ages in the Middle Ages, tumbler was primarily made as coloured adornment for use in stained glass windows in the Gothic structure that dominated most of Europe at that period.

From Venice to Murano It was in this exciting period of transformation and discovery that schooner blowing started to be concentrated in Venice, which had no lessthan 8,000 beaker artisans throughout the Middle Ages! The Italians, however, guarded their tumbler blowing secrets zealously, going so far as to even lay down a stern decree that made sharing or 'leaking' out schooner-blowing techniques to outsiders as a punishable offence!

Schooner-making concerned the extensive use of fire, which always a posed a risk to the crowded and timber-rich city of Venice. And, so in 1291, glass-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and isolated island of Murano. These Murano beaker blowers presently became the final word in the sensitiveand era-consuming art of goblet blowing, creating superb shapes and types that would enthrall futuregenerations. But, at the price if their freedom. No artisan or his family was allowed to go away the shores of Murano -- it was an offence liable to be punished by by death.

Murano artisans escape to Europe Still, many tumbler makers did manage to break out Murano and it was they who spread the art of glass blowing outside Venice and introduced it to Tyrol, Vienna, Flanders, France and England. The earliest Venetian schooner was used for making rosaries as evidenced by some 13th century rosary beads that have been since discovered. These talented Murano goblet artisans also made a spectacular contribution to the way mirrors were made. Polished metallic mirrors started to give way to lovely wineglass mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, vintage glassware with is much in demand!

Beaker blowing in China There is not much known about schooner being made in China -- even while it was being moulded into brilliant shapes and decorative pieces in far away Rome. The earliest records of beaker in China date to 221 B.C. - 220 A.D. It is supposed that blown wineglass was introduced to China by Persian beaker artists. Historians now attribute the incomplete interest in beaker in ancient China to the incredible and common use of paper technology. For illustration, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, see-through paper, not glass panes. They simply did not see the need for schooner!
